Looks like there's currently 3 from this tour on the Ebay page...

Interestingly, this one's striped in 2 out of the 3 colors the EVH Stealth is available in it appears... I kinda like it...

Uh, yeah....don't think I'd pay $7K for it, but pretty damn cool...

That is pretty sweet!

Noting what famous musicians guitars go for at auctions this really isn't a bad deal. You get a guitar you can prove where it was played, that a very famous guitarist played it, autographed it, and striped it . That's more than 3/4 of the journey when you are establishing the value. I'm thinking I may try and get one.

Hey, if you've got the disposable income and want a piece of VH 2012-tour history, go for it!

I'm fully expecting Ed to simply mail one each to all RA mods and webbies, but that's just me....

Ed's spare tire has lost air...

I'd be down for that...!

Dig the white one.

No cash. For rich peeps only, apparently.

I wonder how much more money Ed makes each night by selling these as a percentage.

I could be wrong but my rough estimate is that they make net after all the costs $100k a night each. I could be wrong on that but it's in that ballpark as a minimum.

Ed's slightly tacky guitar scheme maybe adds 5% to his income then?

If it was me I would do it as a local charity thing in each city which would possibly make more cash anyway because of the free advertising...

No idea what get's made off these. However, he donated 75 of his guitars to LA schools through the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation.

I have been in contact with ELVH, Inc. about the guitars. Here is some information that was shared with me.

- They are guitars from the current tour and the two before it.
- Eddie did stripe all of them.
- 300 total made
- 2 played per night
- The last 10 to 15 are going to be sold over the next couple of weeks.
- Eddie autographs each.
- Once the last ones are sold there will never be another attempt at this.

Personally, I think its pretty cool that he's doing this. Maybe he makes some coin off it but so what. He's famous and he knows people will pay "big dollars" to own something he created, signed, and played at a Van Halen concert. Heck, the Fender Frankinstein Strat copies the custom shop did went for $15,000.00 to $ 25,000.00. These come in at a much lower price and he played them during a live show. His time is worth a buck or two and I don't fault him for expecting to be paid for his time, and effort.

Trying to own a piece of rock n roll and a guitar played by one of the guitar gods isn't an easy thing to do. Trying not to be taken isn't easy. Over paying for something you really aren't sure is the real deal is a reality. At least your assured of these guitars being "the real deal" on a whole bunch of different levels. If nothing else YouTube shows what guitar got played at each concert.

The Opus Foundation better keep these fuckers locked up. If they are worth so much, there will be all kinds of motherfuckers trying to steal them.
